Album " Harpo's Ghost " , ( 2006 ) He was a clubland caller, he was younger than he felt Settled like a moth down in the east-end Neon belt Well he used to be a believer, 'til the city got its grip Now if there's any holiness left, Well he can't remember it She was a high-rise butterfly, crashed in '92 Into some veiled little suburb that they bulldozed through Where the little fat angels guard the harvest like they should Well its downtown now but it used to be the woods It used to be the woods And, oh its a lonely little town And oh, its a lonely little tune And if my name is on that list I guess I'll see you soon First he heard her voice and then he saw her face She shone just like a crucifix, an instrument of grace And they got on like children, they got a hotel room They got a new religion, a needle and a spoon And they gave thanks to the heavens, but the devil held their hands And they walked that great divide between Disciples and partisans And the brown and the Bible, they were never quite enough But the life that grew inside her well that felt a bit like love felt a bit like love And, oh its a lonely little town And oh, its a lonely little tune And if my name is on that list I guess I'll see you soon And if my name is on that list I guess I'll see you soon The seasons are a metronome, the rhythm and the wild The winter took his heart away, the spring it took her child And the honeyed breath of summer is sweet and overgrown But its always autumn sings "its not too ...Video Rating: 5 / 5

Album : " Recorded Delivery " , ( 2009 ) We are late like a midnight train that's running nowhere We are sticks we are stones we are broken bones we are hot air We are under the guillotine trying to fix our hair There's computers clicking binary genius into the night There are formulas, remedies, reasons, there is hindsight There's the smell of artillery, There's the sky alight We are bedrock we're undergound we are sharp as the rain We are gathering pace we are thunder wrapped in cellophane We are running from the storms of our youth into more of the same There's a motorway service station on a January day There's a lunchtime radio show there's the shit that they play There's the percussion of buttons and keys in a cybercafe We are some distant TV channel a lesson grown old We are rhythm and rhyme, partners in crime we are fools gold We are free as the wind through the trees or so we are told There's some faded out manuscript paper and an old clarinet There is cash on the table there's a tapestry alphabet There's the moon and the tide and all the songs not written yet There's the moon and the tide and all the songs not written yet

Gilmore was born in Oxford to Irish parents and lived in the village of North Aston, Oxfordshire. She became interested in music as a result of her father's record collection, which included work by Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, and The Beatles. Later, she listened to Elvis Costello, Tom Waits, and The Replacements, among others. She began writing poetry at the age of 15 to cope with the divorce of her parents Gilmore released her first album as a teenager, entitled Burning Dorothy, in 1998 and over the course of the next four years, released increasingly well-received albums that earned her a reputation in the UK music press but no chart success. She finally made a breakthrough at 23 with the release of Avalanche in August 2003, which became her first album to break into the Official UK Album Chart, at #62, and spawned two minor hit singles, "Juliet (Keep That in Mind)" and "Mainstream", for which she garnered acclaim for producing a low-budget music video filmed in a local Virgin Megastore. The video received exposure on the BBC's flagship music show Top of the Pops 2 In 2004, folk singer Joan Baez personally invited Gilmore to open for her during her tour leading up to the US presidential election In 2005, Gilmore continued touring commitments, for the first time not releasing a new album (the covers collection Loft Music was widely released during 2004). In October 2005, she and Stonier married in a ceremony near their home in Cheshire. Gilmore finally returned to ...Video Rating: 4 / 5
